Green Terrors are best kept alone or with a few small dither fish (which may get eaten) or robust catfish such as Plecos in a 208 Litres (55 US G.) or more. If you wish to keep them with other species of Cichlid you'll need at least a 379 Litres (100 US G.) or more to allow for territories. This fish can really live up to its common name!

An aggressive fish, and should be kept with fish of the same or larger size only in a huge tank. While it is aggressive, it is not as aggressive as the Jaguar Cichlid. Being Cichlids, they do dig, and plants will probably get uprooted in the process. Best kept solo.

A very attractive fish, with yellow/orange edging to the fins. It is an oval-shaped fish with a rounded caudal fin. The dorsal is pointed. The upper back is dark-green with the flanks being iridescent paler green. The body is generally quite iridescent giving the impression of several colours and bars.
